Iteratively edit and refine a named plan for a task through a conversational loop. A new plan is optionally composed along the chosen one of several proposed crafting, refactoring, resolution, or specification approaches. Each round, the current plan is shown and the user is asked whether to keep refining, mark the plan as done, or proceed to the implementation or draft. Use when the user wants to plan a task purely through chat-driven refinement, or wants a plan to "craft" a new feature…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add rse/ase/ase-task-edit@sha256:975db4af149a74cf

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261017.19ede76, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
